When the patch is officially accepted into CVS, a new setup snapshot
should (theoretically) be generated, at which point you'll find it at
<http://cygwin.com/setup-snapshots/>. We've been lax in doing this for
the last few significant functionality improvements (Brian, can we please
get a setup snapshot?). Until then, feel free to do what I've been doing:
compile setup yourself, and provide a snapshot on the web.
HTH,
Igor
